Be there or be square. Tom and I will be there with our wool, roving, and yarns all for sale as well as our antique Swedish spinning wheel, and show and tell books and finished items, all with a Nordic theme. Come by and say hi!
My grandfather loved hiking and aviation. So brilliantly for his last wish he wanted his ashes dropped from an airplane onto his favorite hiking spot. So this weekend we accomplished that, on his birthday. My uncle did one better and used grampa’s plane for the event. The family watched from below. It was a great tribute to a great man.
So we need a vacation. The weather has improved making us think that summer will actually arrive at some point. And we have had a tough lambing season, and it is ongoing. Today I noticed that Moll has mastitis. I have never had to deal with mastitis before. So she is on multiple medications, and frequent udder massage and milking. I think I have been spoiled by having Shetland sheep because I have never had all of these lambing problems before. I think I will go back to the Shetlands. Here’s Moll after treatment:
So I am thinking of warm trips this summer. I am not a fulltime farmer but Tom is now. We worked on the camper van that I inherited from my grandfather. I cleaned the inside including washing all the dishes. Tom cleaned the outside and washed the linens. Tomorrow she (we call her Bluesy the Floosy) will get an oil change. Then we will stock her with food, supplies and bedding, and she will be ready to go. We need a vacation!
